Letter 430

[This letter opens mid-sentence in the source text.]

…Who draws down for us — to us — the master of all the prophets and the wise ones. Through whose entire existence we now subsist — through various circumstances and gilgulim — in a way of miracle and wonder. Who draws down the holy faith — who repairs the entire world. And returns — elevates everything to its root — where everything is entirely truth. From the nethermost depths — for he elevates the entire world from the nethermost abyss. From the very ultimate of the ultimate of the distance — from the very ultimate of the physical coarseness — to higher and higher — above all the spiritual things — above the spiritual — to even above the place. Through which the redemption will come. From the belly of the earth — from the nethermost depths. From the very ultimate of the ultimate of the distance — from the very ultimate of physical coarseness. To higher and higher — above all the spirituality — to even above the place. Through which the redemption will come.

Who descends to the very abyss — to elevate all the souls from the belly of the earth — the netherworld and the nethermost depths. From the very ultimate of the ultimate of the distance — from the very ultimate of physical coarseness. And to elevate them — higher and higher — until above the place. For through this the redemption will come.

For the true Tzadik — the aspect of Moshe-Moshiach — the master of all the prophets and the wise ones. Through whose entire existence we now subsist — through various and diverse circumstances and gilgulim. He descends to the very abyss — to elevate everything — higher and higher — to above the nethermost depths. From the very ultimate of the ultimate of the distance — from the very ultimate of physical coarseness — to higher and higher — above all the spirituality — to above the place. For the sake of this the person was created — until they know Hashem — and give Him the crown of kingship. For the sake of this the person was created.

…Who is all his repair and his vitality and his existence. And the vitality and the existence and the root of all the creation — and the root of the vitality and the repair and the existence of all the creation.

And he also strives to leave his daas for the generations forever. For this is the essential wholeness of the Tzadik after his passing. For even if the Tzadik has merited to depart and to ascend on high to the very ultimate of the lofty level — even so this is not his wholeness — to be on high alone. Only the essential wholeness is that he illuminate after his passing below and below as well. That he leave a son and a disciple who will receive his holy daas in the world from generation to generation forever — in order to save Israel from sins for all the generations — forever and ever. And through this it is considered as though he himself literally remains in the world.
